SPECIFICATION'fOrmng part 0f Letters Patent N0.v523,690, dated July 31, 1894.

Application tiled October 27, 1893. Serial No` 489.278. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM SINCLAIR, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinged Sliding Doors,of which the following is a. specification.

My invention relates to an attachment for hinged sliding doors that permits the door to be hinged on the side near the edge thereof and swing like an ordinary door, and then slid back into a pocket out of the way, and also of a pin and groove, to act as a guide, to prevent friction on the front of the door while being slid into the pocket.

It consists of the novel' features of construction, combination and arrangement as hereinafter moreparticularly described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

pocket. Fig. 4. represents a top view of the desk pedestal with'the door closed. Fig. 5. represents a top view of the door slid in to the pocket with a part of the door projecting from the front thereof forming a handle to operate the door.

Similar letters ,of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A. designates a closet, or case, or pedestal part of a closet, having an eXterior of any suitable form, and a sliding door B on the front thereof, with pilasters C on each corner of the pedestal, which pilasters may be of any desirable' shape.

The letters E. E. designate the stationary parts of the structure which are fixed to the side of the partition F, which with the side G of the case A forms the sides of the pocket H, and constitute. a guide E, E, for the slides J, J, two in number, to which the door B is hinged on one face and near one side edgeas at ct.

rlhe letter K designates a strip of wood fas- Fig. 3. represents a front view with the door in the l1 he letterLindicates a strip of wood which is secured by screws c. c. to thefront of the partition F which arrests the slides J. J in a proper position for closing the door, and at the same time affording a finished edge.

O with an offset OV formed in the bottom of.

the door A to form a guide to prevent friction on the front of the door, while being slid in or out of the pocket.

The letter P. indicates a part of the door protruding from the pocket, forming a handle to operate the door, as shown in Fig. 5.

My invention is especially adapted to desk pedestals where itis convenient to have the doors open when the desk is in use.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An attachment for hinged sliding-doors, consisting of the pedestal with a door-receiving pocket, horizontal guides at one side of the pocket the slides fitted in said guides of the pocket, and the door hinged to the slides at one side and near one side edge thereof, whereby the door 'together with the slides may be introduced into the pocket, substantially as shown and described.

' 2. An attachment for hinged sliding-doors consisting of the pedestal with a door receiving pocket, the horizontal guides at one side of the pocket the slides fitted in said guides of the pocket, the vertical strip connecting the slides, the door hinged to the slides at' ABRAHAM SINCLAIR.
